This utility helps to dump the physical memory space from /dev/mem.
It supports both read(2) and mmap(2) on it so we could use mmap(2) for
fast dumping of the memory, or read(2) when we need to read unaligned
physical regions.
This set was hand-curated, guided by the questions:
- Does it have at least three options, i.e. is the help page
non-trivial?
- Is the program unusual, i.e. does listing it in Help or on
man.serenityos.org spread awareness?
- Is the program common, but we only implement a subset of 'common'
flags?
I can't write these manpages ad-hoc, and in most cases I don't want to
remove the link because it is justified. The hope is that with this
FIXME in place, there is more motivation to write these manpages for
someone who knows enough about them. Or at least we will introduce fewer
dead links in the future, making Help more useful.
I used "git grep -FIn http://" to find all occurrences, and looked at
each one. If an occurrence was really just a link, and if a https
version exists, and if our Browser can access it at least as well as the
http version, then I changed the occurrence to https.
I'm happy to report that I didn't run into a single site where Browser
can't deal with the https version.
A quick grep revealed these stats (counting only the first occurrence
per line):
`thing`(1): 154
`thing(1)`: 9
thing(1): 4
This commit converts all occurrences to the `thing`(1) format.
The new asctl (audio server control) utility expands on avol with a
completely new command line interface (documented in the man page) that
supports retrieving and setting all exposed audio server settings, like
volume and sample rate. This is currently the only user-facing way of
changing the sample rate.
On macOS with a Finnish keyboard layout, $ is typed with Option+4. While
writing this manpage, I made the mistake of holding Option down a little
too long, as I often do, resulting in the keystroke Option+space. This,
instead of typing a space, types U+00A0 (non-breaking space), which
looks identical on my host terminal. Luckily the Serenity terminal
called me out on it, printing out a question mark instead.
